Tornado 2009
We had a tornado (I don't care what the National Weather Service calls it!) come through The 2811 Friday night. We were on our way home from a good Friday church service when we came into the worst hail storm I have ever been in! Then it eventually subsided and we got into Abbeville to see what looked like a war zone! Debris everywhere...houses without roofs... signs blown out. And then we finally got home and I say finally because the first several routes we tried were either blocked because of downed trees or downed power lines and we found some damage here at the farm but not near as bad as it could have been. We are thankful that our house is OK and no one was hurt.
Welcome!
Welcome to our family blog. We have a small (55 acres) farm and are attempting to raise beef cattle, some hay, laying hens, honey bees, a dog and a small garden. We also have a small pond that has fish in it but they pretty much raise themselves.The Twenty-eight eleven is the name of our farm. It comes from Deutronomy 28:11 which reads: "The LORD will make you abound in prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your beast and in the produce of your ground in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you." We count on God's blessings for our life as we know it so we thought it appropriate to go ahead and give Him all the glory for anything good that we produce, be it crops, cows, or children. This blog will be a fun project for us to document what is going on at our farm and hopefully share some natural ways of farming along the way (as we learn too).
